Our blog is for anyone who is on a diet, has ever been on a diet, or is thinking of going on a diet. We are two good friends who live in different cities: Weston, MA (right outside Boston) and NYC. Together, we have decided to go on a diet for one year. But more than food, dieting raises issues about self-image, family, control, etc. It is our hope that writing about it will make us do it, and in the process of getting thinner, maybe learn a thing or two about ourselves and each other.

rear view (lyn)

I see Christina every couple of weeks, and today is one of those days. She first sees me from behind and says, “Don’t turn around. Walk. From the back you look like 20.” I take the compliment and don’t dare ask what I look like from the front!
